Every week, Thornton May talks to executives across industries about what they are doing in IT and what's motivating them to do it. The surprising insights gained from this empirical research provide the backdrop for his keynote presentation at IASA's Technology Super Session, "Managing Technology Futures."
"I hypothesize that deep in the back of the minds of many boards of directors in the insurance industry, there lurks a nagging belief that they are not getting full value from investments in information technology — a feeling of doubt that is very consistent with the experience of other vertical markets," says May.
May is a futurist and executive director and dean of the IT Leadership Academy in Jacksonville, Fla. His experience researching and consulting on the role and behaviors of C-level executives in creating value with information technology has won him an unquestioned place on the short list of serious thinkers on this topic. A gifted storyteller, May combines a lively style with detailed research to create an experience for session attendees that is both informative and entertaining.
